Welcome to the Department of Communication and Journalism
The Department of Communication and Journalism, University of Kerala is the fulfilment of a long cherished dream to start a teaching department for communication and media studies in the oldest university in Kerala.
The department was established in the year 1976, under the headship of Prof. Maxwell Fernandez and admitted 25 students in the first batch, based on an entrance test. It was the first of its kind in the state. From the very first year of its inception, the Department had all the basic facilities to impart a meaningful training in mass communication. Under the able leadership of Prof. Maxwell Fernandez, a galaxy of senior media personalities also offered their service as visiting faculty.
Now the department offers a two year Masters Degree course in Communication and Journalism (MCJ). and Ph.D programme in Journalism. Majority of students who have passed out of this department are working with reputed media organizations in the country and abroad.
